I have a 5 MB ProFile that recently has revived.  That one is staying
put.

I have a 10 MB ProFile that hasn't worked in 15 years.  Could be that
the card is defective.  Does anyone have a 10 MB ProFile interface
card that they would be willing to let me borrow to test my drive
with?  I have an interface card that worked at one point, but either
the card or the drive is now busted.

If the 10 MB ProFile is now dead, I would like to convert it to SCSI.
